I did enjoy it, and certainly some parts were really good fun / cool, but...by SW standards, it wasn't particularly great. I would rank it near the bottom of the 9 films. Well, these were my problems.

Rey is the granddaughter of Palpatine? Is EVERYONE in these films related, or rather, secretly related to each other? Also, what the fuck had we never heard about Palpatine having a daughter before? Why doesn't she have amazing Sith powers?

The massive fleet, that Palpatine had secretly constructed. There must've been dozens of full-size destroyers.

The way the massive fleet each have a Death Star-level weapon, despite the fact they're regular ships, not the Death Star.

How pretty much every romantic subplot established so far was dropped, or seriously scaled back. Rey-Finn, not addressed at all. Rose-Finn, not addressed at all. Kylo-Rose, barely dealt with. Wtf.

Remind me- how did Palpatine survive? I know he was basically Zombie Palpatine now, but...this wasn't even talked about.

Why did Palpatine, and other cool characters, get so little screentime?

Why did we need to have SO many locations crammed into the film? Why was that even neccesary?

So, in Episode 8, the call for help from the Resistance was COMPLETELY ignored, but when the Resistance does another, very similar call for help, every guy and girl who owns a starship turns up? The fuck?

Why was Lando even in this film? He wasn't neccesary, and barely even did anything!

A bunch of dead Snokes were stashed in some glass container, with little to no explanation.

Too many boring, or unnecesary (or both) scenes.

Well.

Don't get me wrong. I basically enjoyed it. It was better than some films. It was still (slightly) better than The Phantom Menace, but...so many bits that made no sense, such OTT storytelling.
